The China General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC) in Nigeria has denied claims that Nigerians are being denied access to the Chinese supermarket located within the premises of the Royal Choice Estate, Airport Road, Abuja.
The supermarket was sealed by officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) over the alleged discriminatory practices against Nigerians on Monday.
The visit of the FCCPC officials and the consequent sealing off of the facility followed a video posted by an unidentified FCT resident alleging that a Nigerian was denied access to the Chinese Supermarket.
The video author also said officials at the facility said Nigerians were not allowed into the supermarket.
However, the Secretary of China Chamber of Commerce, Mr Cui Guangzheng, in a statement in Abuja denied the claim.

Guangzheng also said the Chinese chamber in Nigeria is committed to ensuring equality and inclusiveness.
”The China Chamber of Commerce is one of several enterprises using the facility, and the supermarket in question is located in the residential area of the estate.
”No individual was subjected to discrimination or denied access to the estate or supermarket to purchase groceries as widely believed.
”We regret any altercation at the estate’s entrance gate between the security personnel and a customer, it does not reflect the official position of the estate management or the chamber of commerce
“Our principles are to enhance friendship between the people of both countries and promote economic development,” he said.
